"Vinyl on HBO" refers not to a band or musician, but to the soundtrack collection from the HBO television series "Vinyl." The series, which aired in 2016, was a collaborative project that brought to life the 1970s rock 'n' roll scene in New York City, under the creative influence of industry giants such as Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, and Terence Winter. The show delved into the life of Richie Finestra, a record executive trying to revive his failing company while navigating through the complexities of the music industry, personal turmoil, and the changing cultural landscape of the era.

The music from "Vinyl" is an elaborate compilation of the era's rock, punk, and disco, featuring a blend of original tracks and covers performed by contemporary artists and legends. Each volume, from "VINYL: Music From The HBO® Original Series - Vol. 1" through to "Vol. 1.9," serves not only as a backdrop to the series but as a standalone tribute to the rich musical heritage of the 1970s. The soundtrack played a critical role in capturing the essence of the time, showcasing not just the iconic hits but also the depth and diversity of the period's music, thereby providing a sonic experience that complements the visual and narrative ambition of the series.
